Parents of two teenagers killed in a collision on Lawyers Hill Road in Elkridge last year spoke a lot about forgiveness at a sentencing hearing for the 19-year-old who had been driving more than 70 mph at times on the hilly, windy road.
Dale Kirk Audet of Linthicum pleaded guilty in September to two counts of criminal negligent manslaughter
In statements made in Howard County Circuit Court Wednesday, the victims' parents talked about how they came to forgive - or were trying to forgive - Audet. He had been "hill jumping" - accelerating over hills - on Nov. 25 of last year when the car he was driving went airborne and struck a tree, killing .
Judge William Tucker sentenced Audet to three years jail time for each charge of criminally negligent manslaughter, suspending all but 18 months total.
Tucker also said that if Audet's attorney, David W. Fischer, were to file a "motion to reconsider," presenting a home-detention option as opposed to jail time, he would consider it. As of Wednesday afternoon, however, Audet was headed to the Howard County Detention Center.
"These are never easy cases," Tucker said before reading the sentence, "It's never easy for anyone."
Looking at Audet's record, however, which included several warnings and citations for speeding, Tucker told Audet that he was a danger to others. "You shouldn't have had a license," he said. "You were irresponsible with a 2,000 pound deadly weapon."
"I think Judge Tucker is trying to send a message to young people about the consequences of irresponsible driving," Fischer said after the hearing, surrounded by friends and family of Audet and the victims. Fischer said that he hoped the Court would consider house arrest so that Audet, who was severely injured in the collision, could continue rehabilitation.
"I don't see what good a jail sentence will do," Jonathon's father, Brian Deckman, said in his testimony before the sentence was given out. When he went to see Audet in the hospital, Deckman said, "The first thing he said was 'sorry.' I told him I forgave him."
Brian Deckman, who began crying as soon as he gave his name for the record, said of his son, "I know we will be reunited again."
Jeffrey Giles's mother, Karen Cole, stood with her husband as she told the court about the volunteer work her son had done in Honduras, digging wells to help people access safe water.
Of Jeffrey and Jonathon's friendship: "They were best friends. They were baptized together and they died together."
Cole also told the court about the day she gave Audet a hug.
"I told him we loved him and we forgave him." But her grief, she said, made November a difficult month to handle. "I no longer want to celebrate my birthday," she said, because "one week later, that's Jeff's birthday and one week after that ..." he was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision.
Jonathan Deckman's stepfather, Timothy Parthemore, addressed the court with his arm around wife Charnell Deckman. Before reading a poem that she wrote about the night of the collision, he turned to Audet and said that he and his wife were also trying to forgive.
"We are willing to forgive you today," he said looking down at Audet, who was seated in a wheelchair. "But forgiveness does not take the place of responsibility."
Charnell Deckman, barely comprehensible through her sobs, said the night before the collision, her son told her "I am so thankful for you.
"The day after Thanksgiving. The day he told me how thankful he was, five days before his 20th birthday," she said, he was gone.
"He was my first born son and now he's his little brother's guardian angel."
Attorneys for two passengers who survived the collision, Allisa Yi and Carlie Davis, both of Glen Burnie, also relayed to Fischer that they did not want to see Audet serve time in jail, he said.
"It showed a lot of class and graciousness on their part," Fischer said of victims and their families' willingness to forgive Audet.
"It breaks your heart a little bit because you know that their children had as much class and graciousness as their parents."
Audet had little to say when asked if he wanted to address the court. He apologized, saying that Jeff and John were his best friends.
"I can't explain how I feel," he said, "That I was driving, that I caused this ... I just can't explain how I feel with words."

Summary of Thumbelina Summary of Thumbelina Reviews for Thumbelina An Excerpt from Thumbelina
It's not easy being small, but in Brad Sneed's lovely new adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's Thumbelina, at least life is full of adventure. Soon after being born from a fiery red flower, Thumbelina is kidnapped from home and pursued by many suitors, including a horrible toad, a bumbling beetle, and a grumpy mole--until the plucky heroine finds a true love who fits her just right.
Sneed's rich, detailed watercolors are a true standout, illustrating the animals and natural world with remarkable realism and vibrancy. The story, lighthearted and lively, has a simple text that keeps the elegant flavor of the original tale, yet is perfect for a picture book audience.
Brad Sneed's fresh look at a well-loved fairy tale is simply sumptuous!

Fiddler On The Roof
The original Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964, had the first musical theatre run in history to surpass 3,000 performances. Fiddler held the record for the longest-running Broadway musical for almost 10 years until Grease surpassed its run. It remains Broadway's sixteenth longest-running show in history. The production was extraordinarily profitable and highly acclaimed. It was nominated for ten Tony Awards, winning nine, including Best Musical, score, book, direction and choreography. It spawned four Broadway revivals, a successful 1971 film adaptation, and the show has enjoyed enduring international popularity. It is also a very popular choice for school and community productions.

The front desk personnel is very courteous, polite, knowledgeable and not pushy. The mechanic David Snyder went out of his way to make sure I knew my options before I made my decision and he suggested I changed my tires, I did not know they were even that bad. All that at a very reasonable price. =)
The guys live up to your name (courtesy!!) I appreciate knowing ny problems they might find by the workers in the past and the car keeps-a-going!
As always, I was treated with courtesy and humor. They always do a great job- been coming here since the 70's.
Blaine and Ryan are excellent!
The name is rather fitting. They are courteous and prompt. Got my oil change done on my lunch break. Thank you Courtesy Tire for your service!
Great guys, work with you on your schedule. Nice large waiting area with clean bathroom and awesome staff! I have already recommended this shop to all my coworkers and neighbors.
Great experiences – It was time for my 60,000 mile scheduled maintenance and I had booked an appointment at Courtesy Tire. I had been here a few times prior and always had great experiences! The staff are friendly and they actually fix your car with quality work!
Treated with courtesy – Have had oil changed in my cars here for past 3 or 4 years. Best price ever and finished when promised. You are treated fairly, with "courtesy" and as if your time is important.
Fair priced – Had them put on two new tires, flush my transmission, adjust my brakes and change the oil yesterday. They were very courteous and fair priced. Compared to other shops in West Seattle they were much better from customer service to actual work!
Affordable – I had to replace all 4 tires and after everything I was pretty shocked at the total. It was quite a bit cheaper than what I expected it to be for 4 tires plus mount and balance! Kudos to them.

Change is in the air.
It can sound a little bit scary, but really, what is change? It's about reinvention. It's about redefining. It's about re-energizing.
Well, we're finally here. The announcement so many have been waiting for – and a few of us have been waiting anxiously to make. I'm very happy to present the new leadership team for DC Entertainment, including our new Co-Publishers of DC Comics!
If there's one book that just screams "fun," it's TINY TITANS. The book bristles with the pure energy and joy creators Art Balthazar and Franco pour into the book each month.
James Robinson and artist Mark Bagley present a team reeling from the events of JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRY FOR JUSTICE, as a member is tended to after the horrific events of the mini-series. And, will the new Batman join the ranks of the team? Or does he have more pressing issues in Gotham?
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #42 hits 2/17.
Jim Lee and Dan DiDio Named Co-Publishers DC Comics
Geoff Johns to Serve as Chief Creative Officer
John Rood Named EVP, Sales, Marketing and Business Development
Patrick Caldon Named EVP, Finance and Administration
Writer Grant Morrison and artist Cameron Stewart conclude their epic tale, and with only months under his belt as Batman, will Dick Grayson faces perhaps the biggest threat of his life? In hopes of attaining his heart's desire, has Dick instead unleashed a terror the likes of which the world has never seen?
Before 'The 100-Minute War' kicks off in THE WAR OF THE SUPERMEN, writers James Robinson and Sterling Gates warm up the guns of war in THE LAST STAND OF NEW KRYPTON. What better way to warm up for the super-event than by taking a look at artist Marcos Marz's variant for the first issue?
We've gotten a kick reading the great work writers Eric Trautmann, Brandon Jerwa, John Rozum, Matthew Sturges and all involved have done in the pages of THE SHIELD and THE WEB – so what else is in store for the Red Circle heroes?
Saying today was busy would be an understatement, gang, but it was worth it. Tons of cool news to get you through the weekend. But why stop there? Click below and get the full list of BRIGHTEST DAY solicits hitting in May. We've saved a few surprises for you. Enjoy.

Pac-Man and Tetris will soon be among the collection at the Museum of Modern Art.
MoMA says it's acquired fourteen video games for a new exhibit opening in March. Senior Curator Paola Antonelli says they're part of interactive design.
"Art is a gigantic universe, and within this gigantic universe there is a galaxy called design, and design comes in many different flavors and one of them is interactive design, which is the way we interact with digital artifacts," she explained.
She said the exhibit will also be interactive for visitors, who will be able to play the games. The museum has a wish list, to acquire about 40 games in all — including Snake, Asteroids, and Street Fighter II.
"People will be able to play games like Passage that take five minutes in their entirety," Antonelli said. "For Pac-Man they'll have like a timed interactive experience."
She said the museum's also working on demos of the longer and more involved games.
MoMA isn't the only museum taking an interest in video games as art. The Smithsonian had a video game exhibit earlier this year.
The MOMA has done the right thing. After NEOLUDICA ART IS A GAME at Biennale Venice 2011 it was recognized that the world is a video game, a total bet on our future, in which video game as a medium, knowingly sprung from its own fiction, may finally get out of the mirror, like Alice, in order to express its thought on a society that has never been so stratified and complex. The two realities – which sum up to form one augmented reality – are very much alike and cannot do without one another.
In Italy the game is art and is exhibited in museums:

Greece: Austerity and Unrest
Greece's economy has shrunk by 20 percent since its crisis began in 2009 and unemployment has risen to a record 25 percent. The country is expected to enter a sixth year of recession as investors pull money out of the country and the government keeps cutting spending and raising taxes to comply with the demands of its international bailout.
It has avoided imminent bankruptcy after its international creditors finally agreed to give it the money it urgently needs, but the cash-strapped country's economic distress is likely to drag on for years to come.

So the purpose of doing this exercise, Miss Mary, is sort of to review your life and take stock of the wonderful things in it? Interesting indeed.Thank you for sharing that.With regards,Archibald Sharron
Dear Archie - in addition to taking stock of what I already have done, it is also a way to appreciate who I am and to imagine what I still want to have happen in my lifetime. It helped me to tap into a passion I had no idea was there and then events got set in motion to help me move in the direction of that passion. I just read your story and encourage you to write more -- so sorry for your loss but you seem to be finding the blessing in the loss and leaving a legacy for your children and grandchildren. God bless and be well.
Occurred in your life by writing your obituary, mine took place through a little girl at the Special Olympics, in my early thirties. Glad we both found the light! Thanks for sharingAlbert
Mary - you've got so much great stuff to say, keep on saying it....
I loved this.

EAST HARTFORD — It starts with the offensive line. And it starts with a good line.
It usually does.
As Adam Masters and Jimmy Bennett stood there Saturday, two 300-pound mountains trying to explain how the slants by the N.C. State defense had so throttled the UConn running game, there was another big guy across the room with another slant.
And a good line.
"It's not going to be hard to get fired up for that one," defensive lineman Ryan Wirth said of the next game against Randy Edsall and Maryland. "That's all I'm going to say about that."
So there's still animosity about being deserted in the desert after the 2011 Fiesta Bowl?
"I'm not going to comment on that," Wirth said. "I'm just going to say we're going to get it done. We're going to practice our ass off and get it done."
Good slant, Ryan, but not as good as N.C. State's slants in its 10-7 victory over UConn before 34,202 fans and 6,000 empty seats at Rentschler Field.
Good line, Ryan, but now it's time for the offensive line to be good. Or else this 2012 season is going to be an increasingly frustrating exercise where the defense does extraordinary things and the offense drags the Huskies back down to ordinary.
Coach Paul Pasqualoni saw it in the opening 37-0 rout of overmatched UMass and introduced the topic immediately. He didn't like the way the run game looked. He didn't like the way the run game was being blocked. Some saw 147 yards. Good. Others saw only 3.4 yards per carry and a lack of third-down conversions at times. Not so good.
Turned out Pasqualoni was right.
"Frustrating afternoon to put it mildly, very disappointing from a rushing standpoint," Pasqualoni said after the Huskies produced a pitiful 35 net yards on 32 carries for an average of 1.1 yards. "They slanted the front … played a lot of guys close to the line of scrimmage. We didn't do a good job of blocking."
Bennett said Pasqualoni lit into the team afterward.
"When Coach was talking after the game, it was dead silent," Bennett said. "A lot of guys were shaking their heads. He was obviously upset with the offense. All 11 of us have to work together and move the fricking ball down the field."
The Huskies had 18 net rushing yards in the season finale against Cincinnati last year, but in college football, you include the sacks. They had 81 yards gained and 63 lost that day. Johnny McEntee was a sack a minute. On Saturday, the Huskies gained 78 and lost 43. There was no sustained push down the field. They were 2-for-14 combined on third- and fourth-down conversions.
The limelight isn't fair to offensive linemen. They work. They sweat. They pound in the trenches, piles of flesh anonymous beneath a bunch of numbers like six and seven. They are oxen engaged in an intricate ballet. Yet about the only time the media wants to talk to them is when something goes wrong.
So while quarterback Chandler Whitmer and running back Lyle McCombs, who both had their problems, spoke mostly in the typical modifiers of the skill positions — "a little bit" and "sort of" — the big guys didn't hold back.
"I saw a lack of execution and, really, a lack of communication and focus," Masters said. "What happened today is unacceptable and something we need to change."
"It's really upsetting," Bennett said. "I took a lot longer than I usually do to get dressed [afterward] … coming off the field frustrated so many times it's hard to take."
How's that for honesty of emotion?

AKRON, Pa. – Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is working with a partner organization, Sant Kretyen Developman Entegre (Christian Center for Integrated Development, known as SKDE), to provide water, food, medicines and temporary housing for people in Haiti who are affected by the damage and flooding from the recent hurricanes, Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike.
Haiti, which is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, is especially vulnerable to the effects of storms, particularly in multiple succession. And now, the earliest information from Haitian authorities reports hundreds of deaths, even as they acknowledge that they haven't reached many areas of the country. All 10 districts in Haiti were affected by the hurricanes.
People stranded on rooftops clung to one another as they watched their crops being ruined and their livestock dying. Because their homes had already washed away, others waded the flooded streets, holding their belongings on their heads, while clutching the hands of their children.
With bridges collapsed and thick, muddy roads impassable, finding food and drinkable water is nearly impossible. The flooding has affected the existing water systems, making them unsafe.
In 2004, Hurricane Jeanne destroyed Gonaïves, killing 3,000, and this same northwestern port city was hit again this year. It is in a flood plain that quickly fills because much of the forest has been chopped down and used for fuel, allowing the water to rush down the mountains. MCC partner SKDE reports that several of its agricultural cooperatives in the area were destroyed.
MCC's initial emergency commitment is for $35,000. SKDE's initial assessment is that 1,000 people in their cooperatives are in desperate need. There are plans to reach these people with packages of food, water and medicine.
The government is working on repairing roads, so it is hoped that MCC personnel Michel Garly, Guylene Hyacinthe, who is helping to coordinate the response, Margot de Greef and Ben Depp will reach the area by Friday, where SKDE can distribute the needed supplies.
The medicine will be used to treat 200 persons for infectious diseases. In addition, temporary housing will be found for 10 families.
David Martin, MCC material resources manager, confirmed there is a scheduled container going to Haiti with a Sept. 28 load date. This was going to be school kits and canned meat, but it will now include some health kits for flood victims. There might be some resources going from the Puerto Rico Material Resources Center as well.
Mark Epp, associate director for Latin America and the Caribbean, says that more requests are coming in as staff continue to assess the conditions and receive reports from many areas.
Donations to MCC should be designated, "International Hurricanes" and may be made online at mcc.org/donate or at any MCC office.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to determine the age of a Crown Graphic? Mine is serial number 888126.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to determine the age of a Crown Graphic? Mine is serial number 888126.
Thanks in advance.
David: I don't know of a source of information as definitive as the serial number information of some lens manufacturers, as available on the web. If you have an original lens with your camera (as so many of them do) you can often date that and get in the ballpark. I have a Crown which is very close to yours in #, with what I think are original lenses, both with close serial numbers, and it dates to around 1957. Schneider's numbers are approximate, as their web site indicates.
Ask your question on the www.graflex.org help board.
Here is what you are looking for:
Thanks for the help guys.
My camera does not have any of the codes shown on the graflex.org site, so based on Kevin's information, it looks like my camera is about the same vintage as me!
I appreciate the help.
Crank out the focus rack past the drop front and look at the under side of the H shape. You should find the year stamped there. It's in an ink and coded. It may be well worn. The lens only dates the lens.
For those of you who may still be interested in determining the age of their Crown or Speed Graphic cameras by using the serial numbers, the following list is quite helpful. Some places talk about using the lens serial numbers to date the camera but that obviously assumes that the lens on the camera is the original-a dubious assumption after fifty years. This list lets you date the camera itself.

As other people mentioned, the assembly was a bit tricky. Steps 6 and 7, where you put the frame together with just wooden dowels were a real challenge. There were so many pieces that were barely held together until something was actually screwed in that we were wishing for another helper or two to keep the whole thing together. I eventually straddled the piece holding it together with my feet thus having two free hands to hold in other places while my husband started on the cams and screws. I would suggest that you work on the right side first where the drawers go because it is a smaller section and has more stability. Other than that, we really like it and look forward to filling it up.
I am quite pleased with this cart. The wood top is easy to clean, the red is nice and cheery, and it adds lots of storage to my tiny kitchen. I love using the raised drop leaf when we need extra prep space! It took my husband and I 3-4 hours to assemble, and we're both handy people. Not difficult by any means, just lots of steps. The only downside is that the drawers are narrow but deep, so it took me a little while to figure out what to store in them. Overall, I am still very pleased with this purchase.
We are very happy with this cart. People compliment it all the time. The size was perfect for out space. We were going to buy one for ?800.00, obviously that was solid wood but, this worked out great and was so much less money!
I ordered this about a month ago. Once I recieved the order I took everything out of the box to start to put it together. One of the end pannels was broken. I called to get the replacment part. That took three more weeks to arrive. I put the island together. The instructions are very hard to understand. once I had it together It was awfull. It looked like the Island was black first then spray painted red. I would not recommend this to anyone.
This red kitchen cart met our expectations. It was just what we wanted. It was easier to assemble than the other reviews led us to believe. It took about an hour and a half to complete. I would give this product a thumbs up for sure!
The cart took about 3 1/2 hours to assemble. It took about an hour to unpack the box and organize all the parts. One person can assemble through the first few steps then after that it is definitely a 2 person job. The assembly instructions could have been better written but we managed to figure it out. I would definitely use wood glue when puttting in the dowels. Overall I am very satisfied with cart.
Great product, very useful and sturdy built. Instructions were a little dicey and it took over 3 hrs to assemble.
Great product for the money! We are using this as a movable kitchen island. Provides good storage space & extra seating space. The leaf to sit at isn't supper sturdy but it gets the job done. Would recommend this for someone looking for a good size mobile kitchen island without breaking the bank!
This cart was exactly what my kitchen needed. It adds counter space without being overwhelming in the middle of the kitchen. It was a little difficult to put together by myself, but I managed to do it within a few hours. It looks great, it's sturdy, and it stores a lot of items that do not fit in my cabinets. If you are looking for an affordable and functional island, this is it!
What you don't want the answers to the questions above if I don't actually write a review. That's no way to win loyal customers--giving us a "requirement"! Who do you think you are. Frankly, my wife loves it, but she needed it badly. She didn't put it together with incorrect labeling and inaccurate instructions. She didn't have to deal with the top that was drilled for dowels within 1/8" of the surface. She didn't have the heads of two screws twist off the shanks for no reason, while two others stripped out the cheap particle board substrate with very little torque. We got this because the finish seemed to match some ladder-back chairs we bought for the same area earlier. Well it does match. That's one good thing I can say about it. The drawer hardware works okay as well, and the price was competitive. BUT I had wanted a unit from *** that had been discontinued. Comparing the two, the *** piece *** was a solid piece of furniture, while this is a cheap particle board piece of crap!

UCF junior guard Isaiah Sykes was named the C-USA player of the week after averaging 22.5 and 7.5 rebounds this week in a pair of wins for the Knights.
It is Sykes second Player of the Week honor this season.
Sykes has stepped into a more prominent role this season for UCF, becoming the team's trusted ballhandler in key moments. This week, Sykes shot 51.9 percent from the floor and made 16-of-19 (84.2 percent) of his free throw attempts, a huge improvement from his career percentage.
Sykes at 24 points and five rebounds in a win over Rice, but was even more impressive on Saturday in a win over SMU. The Detroit native registered a double-double with a game-high 21 points and 10 rebounds, including some key buckets down the stretch after returning from a rib injury.
This season, Sykes is second on the team averaging 15.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and leads the team in steals (36) and assists (84).

BELGRADE — Mary Perry wants to ensure that the 1870 farm she has been living on for 11 years with her three children remains farmland forever.

So Perry is attempting to protect Winterberry Farm with the help of the Maine Farmland Trust through its new Forever Farm Program, which promotes agricultural easements to prevent subdivision and non-farm development.
"Whether I am able to stay on the farm or not, it is imperative to me that this farm be protected," Perry said. "The farm has given the kids and I for the past 11 years safety, security, a living — we've grown our own food — my kids are schooled here and the youngest one was born here. Whoever lives in the house, it doesn't matter. What matters is that the farm stays a farm and is not developed."
Stacy Gambrel, lands projects coordinator at the trust, said the Forever Farm Program and its website was launched last year.
"It's an effort to recognize all the farms across the state permanently protected with easements," Gambrel said. "As part of this, we have unveiling events where people hear about what it means to have protected farms. We have these signs that we've been putting up across the state denoting farms that will always be protected."
She said the website lists the farms and links to their websites as a way to promote their efforts to preserve the land for future generations. Included on that list is Lakeside Orchards in Manchester.
"We're always looking for new farms to protect," Gambrel said. "At this point we've protected over 20,000 acres of farmland. We do this in partnership with other land trusts. Our goal is 100,000 acres, so we're interested in having more farms" participate in the program.
On Thursday morning, Perry was up early, baking pies and bread to bring to the Waterville Farmers' Market.
Her 12-year-old son, Gill, was setting up benches in the greenhouse for tomato plants, and her oldest daughter, Kenya, 16, was busy harvesting lettuce greens to bring to the market.
"I've made some artisan bread, honey oat and cinnamon, and just packed up my wool and some socks I knitted and some herbs, we have culinary and medicinal," she said. "I think I'll sort out my daffodils, they're so beautiful, and bring them to market."
Winterberry Farm, with 40 acres of open fields, pastures and woodland, was owned by the Foster family in 1870. They ran a small dairy, and cream was made into butter and delivered daily to Belgrade depot to be shipped south, where it was sold.
Later, the farm was known for its lamb and corn, she said. It was dormant for two decades before Perry took over.
The Perrys not only grow food for themselves on the horse- and oxen-powered certified organic farm, but also supply 75 local families with produce and meat through its community supported agriculture program.
Perry said they use their team of horses and pair of steer for the heavy work and plowing the gardens. The family raises sheep for wool, which they spin and dye and knit into socks and sell at their farm stand.
The farmstand on Route 27 also has a commercial kitchen, where she makes pies, breads, soups, jams and pickles. They also have flower and herb gardens for people to pick their own to create bouquets for events such as weddings.
"My object here is for a community-supported farm and to feed many families and have their support," she said. "We have all sorts of lively fundraiser events to raise awareness for local farms, including our farm. Our effort is to preserve this land as a legally designated forever farm."

Authors: Cheng, Kenneth C; McKay, Sandra M; King, Emily C; Maki, Brian E Abstract: BACKGROUND: Rapid reach-to-grasp reactions are a prevalent response to sudden loss of balance and play an important role in preventing falls. A previous study indicated that young adults are able to guide functionally effective grasping reactions using visuospatial information (VSI) stored in working memory. The present study addressed whether healthy older adults are also able to use "stored" VSI in this manner or are more dependent on "online" visual control. METHODS: Liquid-crystal goggles were used to force reliance on either stored or online VSI while reaching to grasp a small handhold in response to unpredictable platform perturbations. A motor-driven device varied the handhold location unpredictably for each trial. Twelve healthy older adults (65-79 years) were compared with 12 young adults (19-29 years) tested in a previous study. RESULTS: Reach-to-grasp reactions were slower and more variable in older adults, regardless of the nature of the available VSI. When forced to rely on stored VSI, both age groups showed a reduction in reach accuracy; however, a tendency to undershoot the handhold was exacerbated in the older adults. Forced reliance on online VSI led to similar delays in both age groups; however, the older adults were more likely to reach with the "wrong" limb (contralateral to the handhold) and/or raise both arms initially (possibly to "buy" more time for final limb selection). CONCLUSION: Situations that force the central nervous system to rely on either stored or online VSI tend to exacerbate age-related reductions in speed and accuracy of reach-to-grasp balance-recovery reactions. Further work is needed to determine if this increases risk of falling in daily life. 2012-11-01T00:00:00Z Effect of competing attentional demands on perturbation-evoked stepping reactions and associated gaze behavior in young and older adults http://hdl.handle.net/1807/42491 Title: Effect of competing attentional demands on perturbation-evoked stepping reactions and associated gaze behavior in young and older adults Authors: Zettel, John L; McIlroy, William E; Maki, Brian E Abstract: Background. Rapid stepping reactions are a prevalent response to sudden loss of balance and are thought to play a crucial role in preventing falls. Previous dual-task studies, involving concurrent performance of step reactions and a visuomotor tracking task, indicated that online visual attention was not required to guide the step, even when nearby objects increased demands for accurate foot movement. However, the planning and execution of the step apparently required attentional resources initially allotted to the tracking task. Reallocation of these resources (''attention switching'') was delayed in older adults. The present study examined the influence of the competition for attentional resources by comparing trials performed with and without the concurrent task. Methods. Unpredictable platform perturbations were used to evoke rapid forward stepping reactions in healthy young and older adults. Challenging obstacles and/or step targets increased demands for accurate foot motion in some trials. A concurrent tracking task was performed in half of the trials. Results. Although participants looked down more frequently in the absence of the tracking task, the ability to clear the obstacle or land on the step target and other spatiotemporal features of the stepping reactions were largely unaffected. There was, however, one notable exception: In older adults, the duration and amplitude of the ''anticipatory postural adjustment'' that preceded foot lift were reduced in tracking trials, resulting in increased lateral center-of-mass motion. Conclusion. Impaired attention switching apparently compromised the control of lateral stability during stepping reactions in older adults, and may be an important contributor to increased risk of falling. 2008-12-01T00:00:00Z Gaze behavior of older adults during rapid balance-recovery reactions http://hdl.handle.net/1807/42490 Title: Gaze behavior of older adults during rapid balance-recovery reactions Authors: Zettel, John L; McIlroy, William E; Maki, Brian E Abstract: Background: Rapid stepping reactions are a prevalent response to sudden loss of balance and play a crucial role in preventing falls. A previous study indicated that young adults are able to guide these stepping reactions amid challenging environmental constraints using 'stored' visuospatial information. This study addressed whether healthy older adults also use 'stored' visuospatial information in this manner, or are more dependent on 'online' visual control. Methods: Gaze behavior was recorded during rapid forward stepping reactions evoked by unpredictable platform perturbation, as subjects performed a concurrent task demanding visual attention. Challenging obstacles and/or step targets were used to increase demands for accurate foot motion. Twelve healthy older adults (61-73yrs) were compared to 12 young adults (22- 29yrs) tested in a previous study. Results: Similar to young adults, older subjects seldom redirected gaze downward in response to the perturbation (11% of trials), yet were commonly able to clear the obstacle (74% of trials) or land on the target (41% of trials) while stepping to recover balance. The threat posed by the obstacle apparently prompted older adults to initiate early downward saccades during a small proportion (18%) of obstacle trials; however, this did not improve ability to clear the obstacle. Conclusion: Aging did not alter the predominant visual-control strategy used to guide the stepping reactions. Both young and older persons typically used 'stored' visuospatial information, thereby allowing vision/attention to be switched to other demands during the stepping reaction and minimizing head/eye movements that could exacerbate the destabilizing effect of the balance perturbation. 2008-08-01T00:00:00Z Redirection of gaze and switching of attention during rapid stepping reactions evoked by unpredictable postural perturbation http://hdl.handle.net/1807/42289 Title: Redirection of gaze and switching of attention during rapid stepping reactions evoked by unpredictable postural perturbation Authors: Zettel, John L; Holbeche, Andrea; McIlroy, William E; Maki, Brian E Abstract: In many situations successful execution of a balance-recovery reaction requires visual information about the environment. In particular, reactions that involve rapid limb movements, such as stepping, must be controlled to avoid obstacles and accommodate other constraints on limb trajectory. However, it is unknown whether the central nervous system can acquire the necessary visuospatial information prior to perturbation onset or must, instead, redirect gaze at the floor during the execution of the stepping reaction. To study this we examined gaze behaviour, during rapid forward-directed stepping reactions triggered by unpredictable platform perturbation, in 12 healthy young adults. We also monitored switching of attention, as inferred from onset of significant error in performing a concurrent visuomotor tracking task. Obstacles and/or step targets were used as constraints, to increase demands for accurate foot movement. Downward gaze shifts towards the floor almost never occurred during stepping reactions when foot motion was unconstrained but did occur more frequently as the demands for accurate foot movement increased. Nonetheless, even in the most challenging condition (target plus obstacle), downward redirection of gaze occurred in less than 40% of the trials, and subjects were commonly well able to clear the obstacle and land the foot on the target without redirecting their gaze towards the floor. An apparent switching of attention, subsequent to perturbation onset, occurred frequently (>80% of trials) in all task conditions, independent of the gaze shifts. The findings indicate that visual fixation of the foot or floor was not essential for accurate control of the foot movement, nor was the apparent switching of attention that followed perturbation onset linked, in any consistent way, to overt changes in visual fixation. Spatial features of the support surface were apparently "remembered" prior to perturbation onset, thereby allowing both vision and attention to be directed to other demands during the execution of the balance reaction. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z

Perhaps you own a business jet and have been thinking about making it available for charter. That's not always a great idea (see below) but if it makes sense for you, it can offer a rather painless way to recoup some operating costs. Here's how to proceed.

You've probably seen ads and articles that suggest you can fly privately for prices that rival first-class airline fares and even coach prices. Last year, for example, Forbes headlined a story "How to Fly Private Jets at Airline Prices," while The New York Times ran "Try a Private Jet, at Public Prices."
December 4, 2012
In the late 1960s–long before speedsters such as the Hawker Beechcraft Premier I, SyberJet SJ30 and Cessna Citation X were a glimmer in some engineer's eye–Dassault gave the world a flying bullet: the Falcon 10.

It's been a long wait.

"Those jets just about land themselves, don't they?"
October 28, 2012
More than 25,000 attendees and 1,000 exhibitors are expected at the 65th annual National Business Aviation Association convention, which runs Tuesday, October 28 through Thursday, November 1 in Orlando, Fla.
October 16, 2012
In 2006, Hawker Beechcraft (HBC) introduced the Premier IA to near-universal acclaim: Here was a composite-fuselage light jet that could be flown single-pilot at speeds up to 450 knots with a near-standup cabin with room for six to seven passengers and a range of nearly 1,500 nautical miles, depending on load.

Flexjet and Bombardier showcased the new Learjet 85 aircraft at an invitation-only event at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City on October 3.
October 3, 2012
Production models of Gulfstream's new, near-supersonic flagship G650–which received FAA certification on September 7–have been rolling off the assembly line and winging their way to completion centers. The manufacturer expects to have the $64.5 million, 7,000-nautical-mile-range bizjet into the hands of customers before the end of this year.
September 11, 2012
Its futuristic lines seduce, its rate of climb and speed exhilarate and its operating economics spell savings. The Piaggio Avanti vastly outperforms all other turboprops and noses past some light jets. It's a 400-knot rocket with a near stand-up cabin that has the cross section of a midsize jet. There's comfortable seating for six passengers aft of the cockpit and the airplane has a seats-full range of 980 nautical miles. Fly with two fewer passengers and range increases to 1,300 nautical miles. Considering that the design of this twin-engine turboprop pusher is 30 years old, this is nothing short of amazing. The fact that barely 200 are flying after all these years is perplexing.

Transfusion Medicine is a core 3-month rotation for Clinical Pathology residents. In addition, 1-month elective rotations are available for Clinical Pathology residents and fellows in Hematology/Oncology. The major teaching venues include:
Our major academic conference is a weekly Clinical Serology Conference (Wednesday 3-4 PM, blood bank conference room) where case presentations, often based on abnormal findings at the blood bank bench, relate laboratory findings to their clinical correlates. Trainees who rotate on our service are tasked with assembling cases for discussion, usually based on clinical material encountered during the prior week. The conference is also attended by blood bank staff who lend technical expertise to the discussions. In this manner, attendees of the conference increase their knowledge of both clinical transfusion medicine and laboratory immunohematology.

First time posting, started body for life because I looked like an emaciated mess. 5 weeks in I am 20 lbs up. I Wondered how I ever lived the way I was living previously. Eating like a bird, and not getting enough exercise!
Oh my!!! Your progress is phenomenal!! You look fantastic!! Can't wait to see the 12 week photos!!!
WOW 5 weeks!! crazy change!! CONGRATULATIONS!! You obviously have got it going on.. man I cant imagine what another 7 weeks is gonna look like!
Way to Go, Fantastic progress as shown by your narrative and photos. Keep up the great work and hang in there and you will go far. Keep Moving Forward towards that 12th week surprise!
Very impressive. Keep up the great work!!!
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Thank you very much everyone, I hate to use the term but I have a lot of "haters" that are constantly critiquing my workout, diet etc. I needed a little positive re-enforcement. I think that my only concern at this point is plateauing! Keep pushing it everyone, and thanks again.
You look fantastic. Naysayers are just flabbergasted by your improvement. I can not wait to see you at day 84!
WOW you are doing GREAT Mykal!
And you are only 5 weeks in too...I can only imagine what you will look like @ 12 weeks! Its gonna be amazing,
Looking at your pictures, it looks to me like you were probably VERY FIT before starting Body For Life, but (as you mentioned), not eating enough food for your muscles to grow.
Having such a low Body Fat before starting Body For Life is great though, as you will be able to see your muscle growth a lot more clearly! :-)
It it up man! :-)
You look awesome. Keep it going!
Interesting comment about the "haters". I have just started B4L, but I have dropped 20 pounds in the few months (that was phase 1) and it is interesting to me who is supportive and who isn't. I have found those with happy lives and healthy bodies are so excited for me and those with their own insecurities aren't. Interesting isn't it.
I have created a Facebook group called "Body for Lifers!" The link is…
I just started the Body For Life program (8/15/12) and know I would enjoy having an easily accessible support group. I would like to have a forum where questions can be answered, encouragement given, progress celebrated and ideas generated.
Please come join us!
I certainley shall Laura, great idea!
One week left, pictures to come.....
End of week 11 , just got home from trimcare, got my body fat percentage. I have finally gone from 3% to 5.6% For me this is a big positive! With no fat to burn my body goes for my muscles if it gets hungry. Just thought I would share :-)
lol you look like a UFC fighter!!!
I am unfortunately not that bada$$!

A few weeks ago, along with my fellow Good Food Show bloggers (Gingey Bites, Annie Ko, The Foodie Couple Blog & Glamour in the County) and our organiser and font of knowledge of everything to do with the Good Food Show, Katy of Fabulous Food Finds, we went to Fiesta del Asado for lunch. While we were there, owner and chef Aktar Islam was in the kitchen practicing cooking his dishes for the next series of Great British Menu. He wouldn't tell us what he was cooking but it looked very interesting!
While we were there, we ate a vast array of amazing food including fried whitebait, padron peppers, baby back ribs, grilled chicken, lamb and a couple of varieties of sausages, all served with homemade bread, fries with parsley and garlic, orange and fennel salad and Malbec sauce. It was delicious and I cannot wait to go back there again soon!
At the end of our meal, Nikki of Convivium Wines told us about an exciting new wine tasting concept that you can try at the Good Food Show called WineTubeMap. The basic idea of the map is that you find a wine (station) that you like then travel further up or down that line to find similar wines that you may like too. It is a really simple idea and I am sure it will be really popular at the show as it makes wine tasting much simpler and enjoyable to understand.
I hope you have a great time at the show if you are going. Please say hello to me and my bump on Friday if you are there then!!!
Thank you to Katy and the Good Food Show bloggers community for an amazing meal at Fiesta del Asado.
Disclosure: The meal at Fiesta del Asado was complimentary. I am attending the BBC Good Food Show Winter on a complimentary press pass. All opinions are my own. I was not required to write a positive review.

Kelly Clarkson is having a red hot year!
More than a decade after winning the inaugural season of "American Idol" Kelly Clarkson is still on top and getting hotter. Rather than go the way of many of the singing show's winners with a single album with mediocre sales, the original "American Idol" is sitting pretty atop the billboard lists and getting invites to sing for the President of the United States.
Here are some of her biggest moments of the past year:
Stronger: Her fifth studio album was officially released in late 2011, but the singer has been riding high with a string of hits including the title song, "Stronger" and the hit "Mr. Know It All." Since the album's release, Kelly has been busy headlining two major concert tours - her own "Stronger Tour" and co-headlining on the "2012 Summer Tour" with The Fray. She released her first greatest hits album, "Greatest Hits - Chapter One" in November 2012.
Mentoring: She's been busy sharing her wealth of music knowledge! Having gained fame on a singing competition, the singer decided to pass on her unique perspective as a guest mentor on season two of the NBC show, "The Voice" and later as a mentor on the summer reality series, "Duets."
Super Bowl: She may not have snagged the half-time show, but Clarkson got the next best gig. Last February, Kelly showed the world her range when she performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XLVI.
Engagement: In the ultimate merging of music, the singer is bringing her rock star vibe to the ultimate country family. In early 2012, she started dating talent manager Brandon Blackstock, who happens to be the stepson of Reba McEntire. Brandon decided pretty quickly to put a ring on it and popped the question on December 14, 2012.
Inauguration: It was a case of small town girl goes to Washington when the singer was invited to perform "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" at President Barack Obama's second inauguration earlier this month. The performance led to the infamous Bill Clinton photo-bombing moment that took the Internet by storm.

Naming the airport after Harvey Milk is a must-do
EDITORIAL Airports are special. There are schools and roads and buildings — and rest stops on the New Jersey Turnpike — named after famous and not-so-famous people, but airports, particularly major international airports, are, in a word, monumental. Tens of millions of people, many of them immigrants, have come through Kennedy Airport in New York, a place named after an inspirational leader who was killed before his time. We're not so enamored with Reagan National in Washington, but the guy was a hugely influential president of the United States. Lt. Colonel O'Hare was a war hero.
That's why the idea of naming San Francisco International Airport after Harvey Milk is so wonderful — and entirely appropriate.
There are lots of politicians in the world, and there have been many civic leaders who have done great things in and for San Francisco. But Harvey Milk was different, and special.
Milk was the first openly person gay person elected to public office in a major American city. He was an inspiration to tens of thousands of people, and his speeches, his signature line — "you've gotta give them hope — and his role as an LGBT icon made a better life possible for generations of young people who faced, and often still face, oppression, discrimination and fear.
It's important to remember that, although he only served 11 months in office, Milk changed San Francisco, changed America, and changed the world. His bold actions forced the nation to accept a marginalized community. He represented the best of San Francisco, the essential spirit of rebellion, the demand for justice and the passion for equality that defines this city in the world.
And the struggle he embodied isn't even close to over: All over the world, LGBT people are beaten, denied basic rights, killed for who they are. And if San Francisco can't make a giant global statement against that, nobody can.
The renaming of SFO wouldn't just honor a local political figure. I would make an international statement. The airport is a major West Coast hub, and people from all over the globe pass through its gates. While many of them won't care who the airport is named for, others will — and an appropriate display in the terminals would educate countless visitors, many from countries and cultures where LGBT people are still not accepted, about the role Milk played in changing society's attitudes.
We don't take lightly the naming of civic institutions. There's too much opportunity for political mischief, for someone like former mayors Willie Brown or Dianne Feinstein — neither of whom changed the city in a positive way or made dramatic statements — to get honored. That's one reason that the San Francisco Airports Commission has declined to name anything after anyone who is still alive.
Sup. David Campos, who is promoting this idea, has taken the right approach: A decision this serious ought to go before the voters. The supervisors should place his charter amendment on the ballot, and the people of San Francisco should tell the world that the legacy of Harvey Milk is alive — and out there, our front, for everyone to see.
Jeez. Your priorities have gotten really screwy.
Presidents always move to the center
Progressive ideas are not popular
All politicians lie
"Purity progressives" can't compromise
Nader lost the election for Gore
Progressives have situational ethics
Progressives ignore pressing problems to promote pet projects.
Progressives want to tell everyone else how to run their lives
Progressives call anybody a troll who doesnt' agree with them
important is inversely proportional to how important something actually is.
And here is why. If the proposal was to name SFO after, say, Tony Bennett, then he'd be indifferent. If the proposal was to name SFO after Reagan, he's be apoplectic with rage.
Ah, but if it's a fairly average supervisor who just happened to get shot, then it's a "must do" as longas, of course, it's a elft-wing politician.
So Tim doesn't give a crap about renaming the airport unless it's after someone that he just happens to personally approve of.

Comments On Jul 21, 2013:The lens is somewhat tinted although not as much as I thought it would be or should be, it also does not have any tear off posts which I find odd. The lens doesn't seem as durable as some others on the market because after a few crashes it has already cracked in several places. Don't let this review scare you as the lens is cheap enough you could order more and its by no way Rock Mountains fault it cracked must of been a manufacture default.
